"What a cock," Will says to Stephen in an annoyed tone. Stephen follows his friend's gaze to Simon Minter, who is leaning against the wall and chatting to Y/n. He, and almost everyone for that matter, were aware of Will's massive crush on her. Whenever he sees her with someone else, he gets jealous, and then becomes passive-aggressive with her or just ignores her completely.

"She doesn't even look interested in him, but of course he can't tell," Will adds angrily. He watches them talk for a minute and eventually, Stephen sneaks away to get another drink. Will turns around and, realizing Stephen had left, wanders over to talk to Harry instead.

"Hey Will, what's up?" Harry asks as the taller boy approaches him. He immediately notices Will's glare and follows it over to Y/n and Simon. It takes him a few seconds to pick up on the problem, but he soon realizes that Will is radiating jealousy.

"Has he always had a thing for her or is this new?" Will scoffs, turning to face Harry, who laughs in response.

"Mate, he's not interested in her at all," Harry replies confidently, although Simon's body language was saying the opposite. "You should go chat her up."

Will rolls his eyes and watches the two talk for another couple of seconds. He sips his drink, then raises his eyebrows at Harry. "What? You think I'm into her or something? We're just friends. I don't want Simon bothering her because..."

"You're in love with her." Freezy, who had walked up while Will was talking, finishes for him. Will immediately turns and locks eyes with Cal. At first, he seems angry, but his expression quickly changes into one of defeat.

"It doesn't matter. She's never had a thing for me, and now she's gonna get with him." Will says as he glances back over to the pair. Freezy rolls his eyes and grabs Will's arm.

"Let's go talk to them then." He suggests, pulling Will along behind him as he walks. Will groans and attempts to pull his arm away, but Freezy keeps a tight grip on him. Along with Stephen, Harry, and Freezy, most of Will's friends were sick of him denying his feelings for Y/n. Freezy decided to take this opportunity to make him face his fears.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" He asks as he drags Will to stand next to him. Simon and Y/n both turn to him and smile.

"Video ideas," they reply in unison, which causes them to look at each other and laugh. Y/n notices Will looking annoyed and staying quiet. She catches his eye and smiles softly. His eyes brighten as soon as they meet hers. He silently curses himself for letting her see the way she makes him feel.

"What are you boys up to?" Simon asks Cal and Will, completely oblivious to Will's sudden mood change. The two shrug and exchange a quick glance.

"Checking out some fit birds." Cal jokes, elbowing Will. Simon laughs and Y/n smiles politely. Will chokes on his drink as he hears Cal's words. It was way more straightforward than Will had expected Cal to be about this, although Cal didn't seem to care. He glanced up at Y/n again before staring aimlessly at the people around them. There was nobody else at this party that he really wanted to talk to, none of them could compare to Y/n.

All of a sudden Simon clears his throat. Someone had caught his eye across the room, although Will was unable to tell who it was. Simon excused himself and made his way through the crowd to go and talk to them, leaving Y/n alone with Cal and Will. As soon as Cal notices, he nods at Will and smiles.

"I'm gonna go get another drink." He says, wandering off in the direction of the kitchen. Will watches him as he walks away, silently wishing that he didn't feel so awkward without him around. Y/n stares at Will, with the anxious expression on his face, and smiles.

"You good?" she asks, immediately causing Will to look at her, then blush and look away. He nods absentmindedly, trying to come up with something witty or interesting to say. He looks around them until he's sure no one is paying attention to them, then he leans against the wall next to her just like Simon had been.

"So, do you fancy Simon or?" he asks, hoping to hide the desperation in his voice. He was just curious, and not at all very obviously jealous. She laughs in response as she looks over to Simon, who is talking to a few people that Will doesn't recognize.

"Yeah, right." she says, "Never in a million years." Will fills with hope at her reaction and laughs along with her. She smiles at him before glancing over to Cal and shaking her head. Will looks over as well and notices that he's practically all over some girl. When he turns back to Y/n, he notices the confidence radiating from her. He searches her eyes for any sign of jealousy but finds nothing. She's happy for Simon to be chatting up other girls, so maybe she was being honest about the two just being friends.

Suddenly, Cal reappears next to the two of them, a wide smile plastered on his face. Will quickly shakes his head but the blond male takes no notice. "How are you two lovebirds doing?" he asks, wiggling his eyebrows at them. Y/n smirks but hides it by taking a sip of her drink. Will cringes and tries to ignore Cal.

"We're not-" Will starts but Y/n cuts him off.

"We're having a pretty good time," she says, meeting Will's eyes with a playful glimmer in hers. "How about you and that girl you were just with?"

Freezy laughs and brushes it off. "Oh, I'm not really into her like that," he replies, quickly looking down at the floor.

"Got rejected?" she asks, reading Freezy perfectly. He huffs and nods, embarrassed. Will laughs and stands up a little straighter, trying to ignore the heat spreading across his cheeks.

"It's all chill though, I have tons of other girls just begging to get with me." he jokes, glancing between his two friends. They both laugh again and nod along with him.

"Actually, are you both free this weekend?" she asks, her eyes lighting up with an idea. The two boys nod, glancing at each other in confusion before returning their attention to her.

"Cool, how about a double date then? Cal, I'll set you up with one of my friends, you'll love her," she says, smiling brightly at the two of us.

"Hell yeah," Cal says, immediately turning and high-fiving the shorter boy. She rolls her eyes at him and smirks at Will. Across the room, one of the other boys yells something about shots, and Cal gives the two a quick wave before heading over in that direction.

"Did you just ask me out?" Will asks slowly, a hint of hope in his voice. She looks him up and down for a second, sighing softly.

"Yes, I couldn't wait any longer for you to get the courage to do it yourself," she jokes, "Is that alright with you?"

Will feels his face burning and looks away, begging his brain to come up with a witty reply. "Um yeah, sounds good," he says, "I'll pick you up at seven?"

"Sure, 7pm Saturday. Let Freezy know if you see him again." she smiles, disappearing into the crowd.
